The electronic translation service is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

The Vancouver School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Division encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.

The Vancouver School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Led by Magee art teacher Mariette Smith, two classes of Magee senior art students joined 250 False Creek Elementary students to paint a series of large murals at False Creek Elementary. Each secondary student was responsible for realizing a portion of the mural and supervising the contributions of the elementary school students.

The school is located right on the False Creek seawall, so the murals are highly visible. Watch a timelapse (courtesy of Magee Secondary VP Nick Ante Akrap) of the entire project below or check out some great pictures of False Creek and Magee students collaborating.
